He gives us argument instead of emotion; but emotion is the language of the heart.

He does not touch the heart; he tries to touch the mind: he is a pamphleteer and out of place.

He fails, and his failure has damaged his cause, for it leaves us to feel that the cause is as cold as his play; but when the Cause is a great one it is always vital, warm and passionate.

It is for the sake of the Cause we ask that a play be made by a sincere man-of-letters, who will give us not propagandist literature nor art-for-art's-sake, but the throbbing heart of man.

The great dramatist will have the great qualities needed, sensibility, sympathy, insight, imagination, and courage.
